What is StarReports?

Back in June 2005, I noticed how long it took my wife, an infant
class teacher, to complete her annual reports. I couldn’t believe what a time
consuming and tiresome process the whole job was. It had taken ages and this
was outside school hours! I decided that there had to be an easier method,
a way to help her and other teachers complete the task in a fraction of
the time. My aim was simple, to enable teachers to create reports as quickly
and easily as possible and to utilise the latest technology in a way that was
accessible and intuitive.

Save TimeThe main aim of StarReports is to allow teachers
to build reports as fast as possible, freeing time for other
things. It does this in 2 ways:

Building sentences by selecting pre-defined statements
means you don't have to type everything

Modifying Template Reports means you don't have to start from scratch
every time

Easy to useThe second aim of the program is that it
should be very simple to use. Careful consideration has gone
into simplifying the whole report building process. While the range
of possiblities within the software are extensive, the process of
setting these options is very simple and useful information is given at every
step. The process is as simple as: -

Enter your class name and choose the type of report

Add the pupils to the class

Choose a template report

Fill in the report questionnaire

Print out the Report

Easy as that!

FlexibilityWhile the reports are built from pre-defined
statements, you can still add you own text to reports allowing you to say
exactly what you want to say.

Professional reportsQuickly and easily creating reports is still a
waste of time if the final report is poor. Great care and a lot of
time has been spent building statement sets, from which the
reports are built, that create meaningful and focussed reports that should also
be interesting to read.

Internet basedStarReports is accessed via the
internet so it doesn’t need any software installed. You
can work on reports in school or at home, or anywhere you want.

Value for money
StarReports only charges for individual reports, there's no
software to purchase and no annual fee, so you only pay for
the reports you create. In addition, because StarReports is
only available online the normal costs associated with selling and
distributing software are greatly reduced and the savings are passed
on to you.

Intelligent thinkingStarReports is designed to remember you
and the way you work. Once you've begun to build
reports the program starts to make your life easier by guiding
you through the process at every stage.

Reusable DataAs you create your reports, StarReports
will build up a comprehensive database of your information that you can use
again. The information also builds to show pupil progression from
report to report.
